The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Xante was not in the mood to talk about what-if scenarios with Sunny. “Let’s stop the conversation here. Wait outside for me. I need to discuss something with Corinne.”

Sunny crossed his arms unhappily. He refused to go outside since he did not see himself as an outsider when it came to Corinne, so he thought he had to listen in on their conversations too.

Corinne pretended Sunny did not exist. She turned toward Xante, asking, “What did Holden Group say?”

“They’ll come tomorrow afternoon to go over the details with us.”

Corinne nodded and stood up. “Noted. Sunny can stay here. I’ll go and give you guys some room. Bye.”

Xante glanced at Sunny and said helplessly, “Boss, you don’t have to go. I’ll kick him out now.”

Corinne put up her hand to stop her. “No, it’s fine. I’m not leaving because of him. I actually finished what I came here to do. Plus, I’m a little tired now, so I want to go home to take a nap. You two stay and chat, okay?”

“I’ll ask the driver to send you back then,” said Xante.

Corinne waved her hand. “No, it’s okay. I haven’t been out in the city for a long time, so I don’t mind walking around the area for a bit before taking a taxi home.”
